The name Tardigrade was coming from an eight-legged segmented micro animal, this kind of animal has been found literally everywhere in Earth’s biosphere. Tardigrades are most resilient animals where they are able to survive even in extreme conditions from extreme temperatures, extreme pressures, dehydration, radiation, and even starvation. It’s a perfect name for a vehicle designed to move and survive on the moon surface.

  1. This was not the first Moon Motorcycle Concept Vehicle. Ronkonkoma was that company’s manufacturer and they co tinge to make them to date. (I’m guessing 1970s or 1980s or actually older. Do your own research but that was the first Moon Motorcycle concept vehicle.)
